Proper Pruning

We prune to solve conflicts.  All pruning cuts introduce some decay.  Our objective should be to maximize the benefit with the least amount of damage - decay.  Smaller cuts introduce less decay.  Everyone agrees on this.  However, where we cut is probably more important in reducing decay, long term, than the size of the cut.

Cost: $600 for a 1-hour presentation plus travel and lodging if appropriate.
We can present at your location or ours in the Quad City Area
If requested, ISA Certified Arborists will receive CEUs. TCIA Certified Treecare Safety Professionals will receive CTSP CEUs.
